Thank you all, again, for Sadie's July HOTM reign. It's been such an honor. I'm humbled and grateful to and for each of you. Looking forward to seeing who our HOTM for August is. Love and a vote from Sadie and me.

How are you doing? I'm so sorry about Dusk. Prince won hotd on Saturday. It was so nice to see him in the spotlight again! I'll tell him all about it when I drive him on Thursday.

It's a bit of a sad day in my family though. Today my grandmother died. I haven't seen her for awhile because she lives in England but her last visit here was very nice. Kind of bittersweet though because I suspected at that time that it might be her last. She didn't think so. She was always pretty positive.

I'm thankful that she passed away peacefully surrounded by most of her family. My mother had just got back to the US after visiting her for a month and had a really nice visit. She'll be flying across the pond tomorrow so that she can be there for the funeral.

Rest in peace, Granny. I already miss you! I am also thankful that just a couple of weeks ago I prepared several cards and letters from my sister and me. She enjoyed them in the company of my aunt. I would kick myself if I had waited any longer to send those! Thank God for small blessings.

On a happier note, Pippin is champing at the proverbial bit to be back in action again. Just 3 more days!!! And then he can champ at the real bit! And we can go driving again.

I don't really think a vet would euthanize a horse and just leave her hanging in the sling for you to find....Really...come on, HC is a fun place to be, you don't have to make up stories to get friends.

Hannah, do you really believe that we are going to believe that you have the kind of money to have a sling like this built for Dusk. If you wouldn't have a vet handle the horse when he first broke the pasturn, what makes us think you can afford to do this. And you stated that horse was dead in the field when you got home! So really, just give it up, it's all a pack of lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Several of us don't believe you for one moment!

Hi Jock, here's a vote for ya. Okay, first I would love to see a picture of the type of sling and what he looked like in it! Cause no barn has the proper set up to support a sling and hold a horse properely. And if that vet made the call to put the horse down, he/she knew it was the right thing to do. I'm sure he/she went over the horse to see what was wrong, and in seeing the broken pasturn, knew it would never heal and this horse was in a terrible amount of pain. I really think this is all a good story to lead us on!

I AM soooo Sorrythat a veterinarian made a bad call! I know the loss of losing a horse when no one is sure until the last minute! Country living and after a long trailer ride to a good vet in a major Large Animal Hospital it is soooo difficult! Prayers to you & I know you must be so sad.

ok guys.. found out what happend to dusk...... The care taker of dusk called the cause he was struggeling in the sling..(he was being scared) she called the wroung vet that did not know anything about horses and put him down sooo.... do not know what I should do! on other note I did ride Jock this morning just a little trail ride and I found this old barn in the woods I'll take a picture so you guys can see... it was really cool! Here is a vote Hannah and Jock

We left a vote, I guess today will be the usual Thursday, groceries, my most hateful job and the library. It is really lovely outside this week, no humidity and temps are about perfect. That sure makes Sterly and Charlie happy, sure wish I could ride. Have a great day, talk soon, Love Donna Lee

Hi Jock, here's a vote for ya. I hope that you got some information on what happened with Dusk and why he was put down, if she put him down or was called out cause he was going down on his own. Looking forward to hear what you found out.

Guys I have to make a trip to vet 1 reason so I can take my friend and her dog/ 2 reason to get more infor about dusk... soo short blog and a vote! thanks, Hannah and Jock .. I might blog again about riding later!

Good Morning, we left a Wednesday vote for you all, WOW, it got down right chilly last night, good to be able to shut off the AC and have a window open instead. Looks like a sit and read day for me, somewhere in there I have to find time for my exercises 3x, I think I can manage. Have a great day, talk soon, Love Donna Lee

Hi Jock & Hannah, Hannah, no vet in their right mind will just show up and put down a horse without permission! They could be held liable for a law suit! I think you need to talk with who ever was taking care of Jock and Dusk when you went away and ask them if they made the call. If they did, it was for a good cause, he probably was in bad shape. Call the vet too and ask her what went down! Don't just blab it on here! You're leaving yourself wide open for a lot of crittsiam!

guys, I have found a horse it's my friend's cross country horse her is a paint cross staillon. but do not know if I should buy him. just really depressed that Dusk did pass. but here is a vote! Hannah and jock

RIP Dusk.I'm so sorry to hear Dusk has died. Saying a prayer for you.....Monday was a day of catching up on chores. Working weekends makes Mondays busy. Sadie's doing good. She's keeping her fly mask on. Maybe she's figured out what it's for. Weather's been humid. Not much rain. Thankful we haven't had any bad storms in our area. Loved the thunder and lightning. My dog, Scruffy, is afraid of it. Sadie doesn't pay any attention to it. Love to each of you and a vote.

Hi Jock, so now was Dusk the horse that you said broke his pasturn? And you didn't do anything about it! Well he suffered in pain, probably with a bone infection from the break and now you think you deserve another horse! Come on! Stick with one and hopefully take better care of it please!

744 JOCK!Hey from Darling please register that you xwant HOTM on the COA page (323390) for which month you want it! We will help after the announcement is on the page; I am so sorry for your loss! I cannot tell you because that never helps! A GET RELIEF FROM THE HEAT VOTE from DARLING ! He is suffering the rains and humidity at full strength now in southern Thailand! Still not working, just being hand walked on the beach and kept in his climate cool stall most of the day and out in his paddock at night under shelter! They feed this really unusual green bamboo looking feed to the horses over there. I forget the name but will ask the vet or go on line with it at the club. It is supposed to be non blockage type green feed and better than hay that can become moldy or with dead animals in it due to inspection through a “s ieve” sort of like a colander or filter for spaghetti noodles & such! They use it the smaller version for the Thai rice! At this point in the story, we were at the airport getting ready to leave for Paris CDG airport (no strikes then, LOL!) and then the high speed TGV train for home. I could not stop from crying, not just from leaving Darling but the wonderful 24 days I spent all over Asia and the days with him were the most perfect I have had in a very long time! See ya tomorrow and hope everyone is cooling down, still about 98°F here with warnings from the Minister of Health in France about older aged people without any cooling or hospitals that need to modernize their air conditioning!

guys I have really bad news..... Dusk has died! :*( I miss him. the day he died was june 20 th went out to feed him he was dead I think I should get other horse to replace him! but thanks to all who voted for him/ loved my blogs about him! but here is vote! Hannah and Jock!

How are you doing? I am going to write a pure copy and paste message because I am so far behind with my HC blogs that you wouldn't believe it.

A lot has happened since I last blogged properly on here and I can't promise to be on as much as I would like.

Eddie has settled in really well. He and Pippin are great friends but boys will be boys and because of their giant size difference, 2000lbs vs 200lbs, they cannot be alone in the same field. So, Eddie has a pen within Pippin's huge day pen and they get at each other through the fence.

Eddie is the tall silent type and his previous owner has never heard him make a noise. Well, now that he's here he whinnies if we take Pippin for a walk and leave him behind. He nickers low and sweetly when Pippin is put in the pen near him. They are cute together.

We've had a couple of tough moments, health-wise, with both of them. Eddie had several episodes of choke earlier this year leading up to a major case which almost killed him. The vet actually thought he wouldn't make it and we were discussing the dreaded topic of carcass disposal…

Well, the long and short of it is, he's completely and absolutely healthy and looks the best he's ever looked. He's fit and shiny and has a spring in his step. That is, when he's not sleep walking which he'll do on a hot day like today.

3 weeks ago Pippin had surgery for the removal of 2 large enteroliths from his colon. They weigh about 3lbs and I've kept them as souvenirs. He's on the road to recovery and is also doing super well.

For a couple of months he was rapidly going downhill and we couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. Using a portable x-ray the vet discovered the stones. They are so huge that she actually screamed when spotted them on the radiograph. It's a wonder that he was still eating and pooping fine. Not sure how that was even possible.

Anyway, that's what's up here. I will try (really I will!) to write more often.
